The Secret Policemans Ball

Excellent to see Mitchell and Webb doing their Nazi “Hans, are we the baddies…?” sketch on last week’s show at the Albert Hall, and the little Iranian lady was good too.
But what a load of bad choices!
Alan Carr stuggles to be funny at the best of times, frankly, with much of the laughs coming from [...]

[singlepic=55,320,240,,right]Angus Deayton and a host of guests return this Friday at 9pm with a second series of Would I Lie To You? the comedy panel gameshow that constantly evokes memories of the Charles and Eddie hit from 1991.

[singlepic=4,320,240,,right]Devastingly, this week sees the final installment of the second run of That Mitchell and Webb Look, which frankly has kicked the mincing behinds of virtually everything else on television at the moment (save Harry Hill and Al Murray).  I couldn’t even begin to list the highlights here, but the recent “off air” sketch in [...]

Mitchell & Webb

[singlepic=4,320,240,,right]Refreshing to see That Mitchell & Webb Look making an impact with fans of quotable comedy. That’s “quotable comedy” as opposed to “catchphrase comedy” – basically its very well written and utilises cleverly composed dialogue that can be repeated on the way to lectures, in the pub, etc, without everyone chorusing “I’m a LAYDEEE!!!!”
